Well ladies today was the day.A healthy baby girl was born.And i have to say what a beautiful girl she is.Finally shes here!!I have to say today was a very emotional day for me.Seeing her go through all that pain,but it payed off when the nurses put
her in mom and dads arms.What a sight!Thank everyone for all thier thoughts and prayers.Im guessing grandma well both grandmas will be telling you a lot more.but im sure they will be pretty busy for awhile.So i figured Id let ya know.Thank you Lord for your wonderful blessing.

Thanks for filling us in. So glad the baby has arrived and is healthy. Many answered prayers!

Congratulations to the new parents and grandparents! Does the little sweetheart have a name yet?
Dennis and I went out to eat tonight at Pizza Hut and decided to stop by and see our newest grandchild, little Teresa, and her sister, Alex. Little Teresa is still a little tearful when strangers come by, and she doesn't see us often enough to feel comfortable with us. She did smile and coo a little for a while, but it was her supper time and she started getting fussy, so we left early. Josh hasn't gotten the job at Frito Lay, at least not yet. He is working parttime at the job where he had been working before getting laid off...but its not permanent and very sparse. I hated the thought that they might have to move away, but I don't want to see them have to struggle to make ends meet with just unemployment and Dyan's pay check either. So I hope he finds a good job soon.

Marianna Belle was born Thurs at 4:59 pm - a healthy beautiful baby. She was 7 lbs 3 oz and mommy and baby came through it with flying colors.


I'm not sure I could find the words to express the feelings we were all experiencing -- sitting there in the waiting room -- knowing it would be any moment -- but then my son trotted down the hallway and waved to us (on his way to get mommy some juice) and the smile on his face told it all

So THANK YOU ladies -- for all your prayers and good wishes -- the new adventure begins

I am so confused...is this Nillawafer's grandaughter???

PS Didn't mean to slight anyone else---just am a family friend and wanted to tell my Dad to call his best buddy (who is a new great-grandfather if it is!!)....

Yes! Can you figure that out? I promised I wouldn't share who anyone is in the forum. remember you can always ask questions of one another!

yes..this is nillawafer and lionspaaw's granddaughter. we are both on here!!! how about that?!?!? she is the most beautiful girlie ever...well equally ever.. her mommy and auntie were beautiful girlies at birth as well! i spent the night the other night so that new mommmy and daddy would be able to sleep. (other than feedings of course for mommmy.) everyone was well rested by sunday morning. i had a great time with my daughter and new grand-baby from 2am to 4am for the 2 o'clock feeding. she fed and then we changed her into another set of matching things (socks and blanket and everything must match you know) we put little slippers on her feet for just a second and danced her around a bit and it was so fun!!!

New babies are so much fun, aren't they? We spent an enjoyable afternoon at my daughter's house for Colin's 7th birthday. Little Teresa Faith, my oldest son's newest child (5 1/2 mo.) was so sweet and cuddly. But now and then she would look at us like we were complete strangers and start wailing for her mommy. So she got passed back and forth a lot. I'll be glad when she outgrows the separation anxiety phase. She is so cute and looks just like her daddy did at that age.
Enjoy those little ones while you can. They grow up so fast, and sometimes they get so independent that they no longer want kisses and hugs.

Yes its nillawafer and lionspaaws granddaughter.nilla mothers mom,lions fathers mom.
